curl_easy_perform stuck using ssl

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Curl easy perform just hangs. Is this something related to curl or mongoose. 
Looking at problems from both the sides. Is there any way to debug this problem 
and find out what is the reason ??

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
RHEL Linux 5.8

Please provide any additional information below.

I am using curl with openssl to put some data onto the mongoose server. The 
whole process of the sending the data is performed in a thread.

The problem is curl just hangs after getting the first block of data, which is 
retrieved using the call back fileSendHandler.  It sends the first block of 
data and it never comes back to the fileSendHandler again. Even if we have no 
data to send we need to at least return 0 to confirm the file transfer has been 
completed as per the curl documentation. In the mean time the mongoose server 
keeps on waiting for the data or close connection request which also never 
happens. The curl just doesn't come out of the curl_easy_perform. But curl 
outputs that the file transfer is complete.
